I really, really, really, really dislike these people (AP, and the media). I didn’t want to use the word hate, but boy, they are pushing the envelope.
Romney has not risen he has stayed the same and 75% of the folks do not want him as their candidate. I would bet a solid one half of those will never vote for him in the primaries. He better hope that they change their mind if he gets the nomination. However, until then it is a battle between “We The People and the elite media/political class. I know who is supposed to win such battles.
AP failing to realize that in another 13 months of this utter economic BS, short of a literal miracle, people will look to do what the Dems so eloquently ran on in 2008: Anyone but Bush. It will ultimately boil down to ANYONE but OBAMA! =.=
than are contenders with stronger tea party credentials, including Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry

Perry does NOT have strong Tea Party credentials.
This statement is true. The rest of it was BS.
If Romney wins the Tea Party is going to be hurt bad.
He's going to have to "rise" without my vote in 2012. No big deal though. He'll have the homosexual vote, the feminazi vote and the gun grabber vote.
Rise? What Rise? He gets the same 23% in poll after poll after poll. Romney isn’t “rising” in anything
Nominate Romney if you want 4 more years of Obama, GOP, I won’t backing him.
The Tea Party is saving their powder until they see the whites of their eyes and then fire for effect!!
WHAT RISE? He’s been stuck below 30% the entire campaign and can’t crack it.
It seems that all the big-shots in the Republican hierarchy are frothing at the mouth and screaming at Tea Partiers that we must start loving Mitt. Sadly for Mitt, most aren’t real fond of him. He seems just a little too slick and a little too eager to get along with Democrats. Sure, he’d be a huge improvement over Obama, but so would your halfwit Uncle Fred.
Romney’s rise? Is this satire? Has he ever risen above 25% or whatever number he was at when he declared? I sure haven’t seen a rise. I’ve seen attempted coronation but no rise.
